@moto17 today's prompt word for #ThingsToWriteAbout is #karma. This seemed a perfect opportunity to do a #Rengay with you. I offer the following hokku to start.

Vain desire blows
Each life upon the tree
Karma at its root

You would have two lines now, and at the end, a three-line link to sum up the previous 5 links. That can be fun and challenging.

You are under no obligation and feel free to demur for any reason.

#PennedPossibilities 1021 — Have you ever co-written a story before?

I have been given credit for co-writing, but all I really did was edit the story to be more understandable in English.

I have co-written poems. The last one was Saba Dreams: with @extraspecialbitter

Others with @MarkBrigham

Anyone interested in doing #rengay can join us.

Saba Dreams

By @extraspecialbitter
@NaraMoore

people who died
my dreams
of underwater trains

Kelp streamer
Tortured souls

underwater mountain
a dense cloud of mackerel
swirling in a frenzy

Saba oh saba
Cumulus lightening
Fish eye faces

octopus tentacles
reaching for the surface

Gulls cry
Jigoku station
Final destination

A 6-verse #rengay, May 18, 2025

Pickled Garlic

Six verse #rengay by @NaraMoore & @extraspecialbitter
#Wss366 5/15 bottom 5/16 sub

down to cloves of garlic
at the bottom
of the pickle barrel

seeds swirling
turmeric-green drain

sleepwalker's ballad
green flesh, green hair
eyes of cold silver

suborbital
the stars are singing
a satellite's demise

predictive markets pondering
where will the space junk land?

economic pickle
whose insider
ah, garlic rush
